Distant Dreams

Marimba/vibraphonist/composer Errol Rackipov studied with Gary Burton while at Berklee and also holds a Masters from the University of Miami. He composed all of the songs on this disc. The group includes Lubomir Gospodinov (tenor, soprano sax), David Leon (alto sax), Martin Bejerano (piano), Peter Slavov (bass) and Ludwig Afonso (drums). Burton describes this disc, Rackipov's second, as "a real triumph from the great original compositions to everyone's performance. It is both delightful and engaging. The band simply glides together throughout this journey."
